Arduino is a platform, not a microcontroller. ESP32 is technically a microcontroller, but it's an SOC... which is not the kind that generally gets used for industrial applications in the field I'm in.

You shouldn't assume I get to choose the platform I'm working on. That's not how it works where I'm at, and if (when) I do get to choose, programming language is unlikely to be near the top of the list of criteria.

Whatever you are forced to chose doesn't make the other options disappear from the market.

The other options aren't relevant to my comment.

If you're going to be pedantic, you need to be both relevant and correct. You are neither.
